How can I access a website from within vb code, and then save the html code or the output of the code to a text file. I ask because I amwriting a program to notify me when my external ip changes and I am going to access a website in a vb program that tells me what my ip is and then take out the ip part of the text file and mail my friends as well as gives me a message box. Does anyone know how I can put webpage into a text file? Thanks!

How to access a web site, then save the html or output to a text file
- Thread starter rickpro

The following code will get the HTML of a web site into a string. Then you have several options for saving the string to a text file (richtextbox, open new file for output, etc.).
Add a Inet control to your form first.
Private Sub GetPage(strUrl As String)
Dim strWeb as String
If strUrl <> "" Then
Inet1.Cancel
Inet1.Protocol = icHTTP
Inet1.URL = strUrl
strWeb = Inet1.OpenURL(, icString)
End If
End Sub
Hope this helps.
